2-Genetics and Plastic Surgery invented in ancient India

Ancient India knew everything about genetics and plastic surgery.

In October Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at the inauguration of a hospital in Mumbai said that
"We can feel proud of what our country achieved in medical science at one point of time.
We all read about Karna in Mahabharata.
If we think a little more, we realize that Mahabharata says Karna was not born from his mother's womb.
This means that genetic science was present at that time.
That is why Karna could be born outside his mother's womb."

Modi also said, "We worship Lord Ganesha. There must have been some plastic surgeon at that time who got an elephant's head on the body of a human being and began the practice of plastic surgery."

7-Invention of Television in ancient India
A textbook brought out by the Gujarat government, with a foreword by Narendra Modi, had stated that much before J. L. Baird envisaged the television, ancient Yogis in India had a better, more handy version of it. The text book, as reported by The Indian Express, reads: "Indian rishis using their yog vidya would attain divya drishti. There is no doubt that the invention of television goes back to this."

8-Invention of Motor Car in ancient India
A textbook brought out by the Gujarat government, with a foreword by Narendra Modi, says that "What we know today as the motorcar existed during the Vedic period. It was called anashva rath. Usually a rath (chariot) is pulled by horses but an anashva rath means the one that runs without horses or yantra-rath, what is today a motorcar."

India needs to discuss about this
Sushruta Samhita is an ancient knowledge of Ayurvedic surgery compiled by Sushruta (circa 1200-600 bc).
We need to find out the reasons why we lost that knowledge.
Why no advancement in such knowledge?

9-Chandragupta Maurya and his Caste -

Historians have questioned the BJP's efforts to project Chandragupta Maurya - the great emperor who founded the ancient dynasty bearing his name as a member of the Kushwaha community, the second largest OBC group

Historical experts told to media, telegraph that there was no historical evidence to establish that Chandragupta Maurya, whose empire, built with help from his mentor and adviser Chanakya, was from the Kushwaha community.

Chandragupta was born in 340 BC in what is today Patna and is believed to have ruled from around 320 BC to 298 BC, when he renounced his throne in favour of his son Bindusara.

Maura Empire was extended from Bengal to the edge of what is now Iran, Tajikistan and Kyrgystan, covering modern day Pakistan, Afghanistan and the entire Gangetic plains.

Learn to differentiate between myth, reality and science

Treatments for the plastic repair of a broken nose are mentioned in the Edwin Smith Papyrus, a transcription of an Ancient Egyptian medical text, dated to the Old Kingdom from 700 BCE

If one reads the ancient history of other cultures one will find such examples in every ancient culture, such stories are present in all the ancient cultures stories of planes, wars, magical medicines everything

Historians expressed surprise at the move to assign the Kushwaha caste to Chandragupta,
Little is known about the ancestry and childhood of the Chandragupta
"There are contradictions even on the year of his coronation,"
"There is no evidence to suggest the caste to which Chandragupta Maurya belonged. There is only a mention that Chandragupta Maurya was born to a low caste,"
Ancient Buddhist tradition, on the other hand, suggests a noble lineage for Chandragupta, describing him as a scion of the Kshatriya clan of the Morias.
